Since ancient times, humans need technology, starting from the making of necessary tools to find sources of food such as stone and then iron axes, discovery of gunpowder, weapons for hunting and the creation of devices to defend themselves from attacks by nature, wild animals, and their human enemies, or to attack other humans to maintain a sustainable food supply and expand hunting, livestock, or agricultural areas. It should be noted that from the beginning, technology was not only used to support and provide convenience in human life, but also could and tend to be used for purposes that could damage the order of human life, such as the use of technology for warfare, both as weapons and non-weapons equipment. The tendency to use technology as a tool for self-defense or committing crimes has been a reality since the beginning of human civilization.
Currently, we are faced with technological developments that were completely unknown some time ago. The development of technology and its use in various fields raises the need for new regulations. The development of information and communication technology and the increasingly widespread use of the Internet have made human life easier. The emergence of various new fields, such as Big Data, Internet of Things, and the development of technology-based financial systems, all require new regulations.
Many laws and regulations that have existed for a long time are becoming obsolete because of the emergence of new problems, and because of the growing complexity and speed of technological change. This requires special attention to technological developments from time to time, to be able to keep up with the necessary laws and regulations.
